Now Coming To New York Subways: Even More Cellphone Service

Transit Wireless, the firm controlling wireless communications
for the New York subway system, announced this week that it will
extend cellphone service to 30 subway stations this year, Ted
Mann reports for The Wall Street Journal.

Cellphone service is already available in six stations on 14th
and 23rd Streets; the new service would include much of Midtown
Manhattan, including stations at Times Square and Rockefeller Center.

Mann reports that the company is planning to launch free wireless
Internet in the coming weeks, available through a sponsorship
agreement that has not yet been nailed down.

and stations slated to provide coverage this year, see
